C90: All or Mostly Female (Post)-Punk, Answer Fast

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
I need to put together a female-dominated comp for one person and a post-punk one for another: this is a two-birds, one-stone situation if I've ever seen one. Off the top of my head I have:

Slits - Typical Girls
Au Pairs - You
Delta 5 - Mind Your Own Business
Girls at Our Best - Getting Nowhere Fast
X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage Up Yours
Lilliput - Ain't You

Jog my memory while I'm still sitting in front of a T1 line and can download anything I don't own.

Re The flowers.

There are two tracks on Earcom one and two singles on Pop Aural. All great. Whenever I saw them in Edinburgh they used to play with another girl group called The Ettes who I remember fondly but not very well, They never recorded anything that I know of.

Thirded the Skodas! What of ESG? The Go-Gos? Some Brix E. Smith Fall even?

― Sarah, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I love that single, Dr. C., and have it as well as the compilation you mention (which is great in parts but necessarily patchy, I think).

The Skodas were from Bristol, as I recall, but I know nothing else about them. Anyone?

― Tim, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah I see someone else already said that, colour me illiterate.

Of course there is my band, with the female take on Prince Busters "The Ten Commandments of Man".

I think some people in this thread just don't get it. I think nabisco is looking for a specific period (late 70s/early 80s), not, like, every all-female or female-dominated band.

― Dean Air, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I recently came across this great track on slsk by I.U.D. called "Precious" that would fit with this thread. It also seemed like I'd heard it somewhere before. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
